[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 539771, member: 57076"] ^ You've just said a lot of what I have, but I'm sure this will be taken just fine for some reason ! :p And I REPEAT: I hate that attitude "we won you lost" but some ppl need to be put back in their places when they push it, so I took exception as it needed to be done. And yes of course we can do better phildange ! We sucked in the breakdowns, Michalak wasn't NEARLY as good as in the past two tests, clumsy rushed passing, Clerc and wingers and the others ready to go on the counter-attack a few times but just too rushed -> broken up play, no running no passing nothing. Some of these things had nothing to do with the opponents' defense, it's just us. Just not the game we wanted. In a parallel universe they may beat us by a few points, but in another our offense clicks and we get better rhythm and we're off. Samoa: played EXCELLENT for their potential they were close to 100%, fighting like animals on each ball, playing tight defense, pushing like crazy on the scrums, jumping in piling up with vigor in those mauls/rucks, etc... A kick here could have dropped...but mostly they were way up there, focused and enraged. Their intensity was incredible. France: You think this was 100% ?? :p [/QUOTE]
